Case series👥 11 participantsPreliminary✓ Source-checked📍 Philippines
In plain English. Eleven women living at a center for abused females went through EFT sessions, and the researchers used in-depth case study methods rather than test scores to understand what happened. Some participants developed better emotion regulation, while factors like family estrangement got in the way of progress for others. Because this is a qualitative case study rather than a trial with outcome numbers, it's better read for its practice insights than as proof of an effect size.
